3.0 WIRING THE METER
WIRING OVERVIEW
Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on standards of good installation, local codes and regulations. It is
the back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s recommended that the power supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be
voltage and current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.

3.3 INPUT WIRING
CAUTION: Power common (PWR COMMON) is NOT isolated from input common (INP COMM). In order to preserve the safety of the meter
application, the power common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective
earth ground potential. If not, hazardous voltage may be present at the Signal or User Inputs and input common terminals. Appropriate
considerations must then be given to the potential of the input common with respect to earth ground; and the common of the plug-in cards with
respect to input common.
